Your Face is the Key: Chamberlain myQ Secure View Smart Lock Debuts at CES 2026

Forget fumbling for your keys or checking your phone. According to The Verge, Chamberlain is pushing the boundaries of its ecosystem with the new myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock, unveiled at CES 2026. It's a device that combines a high-definition video doorbell with a biometric locking mechanism.

Inside the Chamberlain myQ Secure View Smart Lock Features

The device features a 2K HDR video camera that serves as the 'eyes' of your home. By scanning family members' faces into the myQ app, the lock utilizes face detection to automatically grant entry as you approach. If it detects an unrecognized visitor, it doesn't just stay locked—it can automatically trigger your garage door to close, providing a multi-layered security response.

Priced at $279.99, the lock represents a significant investment in the myQ ecosystem. While it offers seamless integration for existing users, critics point out that Chamberlain continues to favor a closed system, which might be a dealbreaker for those seeking broad interoperability in their smart homes.

Biometric Security and Convenience

Industry analysts suggest this 3-in-1 approach simplifies the front door experience. By merging the doorbell and lock, homeowners reduce clutter and installation complexity. However, the reliance on facial data stored within the app raises ongoing questions about biometric privacy and data security in the IoT age.
